Kia ora families
This week was the most exciting of the year so far with both the Playscape opening and our water celebration day!
The Playscape opening was a really special event. Many thanks to Te Kaha Hawaikirangi for leading a beautiful karakia. Our Board of Trustees Presiding Officer, Anna Wairama, thanked our amazing Team Pipi for their fundraising efforts over the last five years. She also thanked Pub Charity, the Lion Foundation and the Trillan Trust for their support.
Our Playscape is now open for our children and community to enjoy.
Our Ko te Wai - Water Celebration Day was so much fun! Children participated in many activities that can be seen in the photos below. A big thanks to Mr Meehan for his organisation.
Have an awesome weekend!
Nga mihi,

Morning Tea Kai
We are so fortunate to receive free hot lunches at school everyday. The meals are both tasty and nutritious.
We have noticed that children are eating lots of food for morning tea. Children only require a few small food items to get them through to lunch. We also find that many children eat so much that they don't get time to play at morning tea!
Some ideas for morning tea can include: fruit, crackers, cheese, yoghurt or vege sticks. Thanks!
